れているう図中。Ice making is performed by an ice making tray (6) that is cooled from all around by this circulating cold air. The ice tray (6) of the above conventional example is a single ice tray (6) equipped with a large number of ice cube forming chambers.
However, the structure of the ice making container used in such a refrigerator-freezer is 2, for example, Utility Model Application No. 55-354.
As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 shown in Publication No. 38, the upper ice-making tray α3 with an opening on the top surface is replaced with the lower ice-making tray f with a slightly larger external dimension.
In the figure, there is a known double-structured ice making container α2 which is used by fitting into i4.

純物質は氷結に伴い。Since the ice tray or ice container used in conventional refrigerator-freezers is constructed as described above, it is free from impurities such as residual chlorine and hardness, which are the source of chlorine odor, just like tap water in ordinary homes. When water containing water is frozen in an ice cube tray, the impurities are removed as it freezes.

の問題点が以前として改善され々い現状にある。There is a problem that the ice transfers to the unfrozen state and becomes concentrated in the final frozen part, resulting in a cloudy part, and depending on the water quality, unpalatable ice with many cloudy parts is made. In order to solve these problems, a double-structured ice making container Mfi3 consisting of an upper ice tray I and a lower ice tray I as described above has been developed, but the upper ice tray,
Since the bottom part (A) of the ice block formation chamber member of the ice block formation chamber 0 is formed in a flat shape, the water mixed with impurities does not concentrate in the space αη below the communication hole of the ice block formation chamber 0, and the ice block formation chamber 0 does not concentrate. Formation chamber a
At the bottom of No. 9 (a), K is deposited, resulting in cloudy water, and the above-mentioned problems have not been improved as much as before.

題もあった。Furthermore, the ice that has frozen from water that has flowed around the gaps around each ice cube on the upper ice tray connects with the ice cubes in the lower ice tray, requiring considerable force to separate the upper ice tray and the lower ice tray. In addition, it is very difficult to remove ice because it inhibits the deformation of the ice tray, and the problem is that the ice that has not been sufficiently separated from impurities gets mixed with the ice cubes in the ice tray during ice removal. There was also.

When making ice using a conventional refrigerator-freezer as shown in Figure 6, the ice making container is cooled from all around by circulating cold air. The inside of the ice tray also begins to freeze.Therefore, there is a problem in that the final frozen portion containing impurities is located near the bottom of the ice tray.

で囲まれた伝熱率の低い密閉空間層nlを設けである。The cloudy white ice mixed with impurities formed in the lower space I on the lower side facilitates the separation of a plurality of independent pieces of ice. The water in the ice making container is cooled from the sides and bottom, and is prevented from freezing from the sides and especially from the bottom. In other words, after the freezing in the ice making block (to) is completed, the impurity block IAa is set so that the freezing in the impurity block (to) is completed.
On the outside of the second inner wall IAn and the bottom surface (1), there is a second inner basket IAη, the bottom surface (sha), the outer wall (52), and the outer bottom wall (55).
A closed space layer nl with a low heat transfer rate surrounded by is provided.

消する。The part of the ice that contains the most concentrated impurities is the ice container (
The ice containing the most concentrated impurities is located above the bottom of the ice making block (2), and the ice containing the concentrated impurities is placed above the bottom of the ice making block (2). This eliminates the worry of not being able to separate the ice that is missing.
この密閉空間層(4!Iは単なる空気層としても良く。This closed space layer (4!I may be simply an air layer.

This prevents it from being enclosed in the outer periphery of the inner wall (to), and after freezing, the ice block in the lower space (44 is connected only to the ice block in the upper space US and the communicating part +4[1, so The ice making block (to) and the impurity block (to) can be separated with a slight force, and since there is likely to be an ice block between each first inner wall (c) that prevents deformation, the ice making block (to) must be twisted. Because it can be easily transformed into ice-making blocks (to)
Ice blocks in the upper space vessel can be easily removed, and there is no need to worry about leaving ice blocks containing impurities during the ice removal process.

2 spaces 143° C4 are formed above and below via a communication section 14tl consisting of a plurality of holes provided in the bottom surface (to) of the independent ice-making block (to), and cooling is gradually carried out from the open top surface. Therefore, the space of the ice making block (to) 6j
Maybe freezing begins and finally the impurity block (40 space G
Number 4 freezes. When ordinary household tap water is used, impurities such as residual chlorine or hardness migrate to the unfrozen portion during ice making and are concentrated in the final frozen portion, resulting in cloudy water. Therefore, the part that freezes first becomes clear, delicious ice that contains no impurities and is close to pure water. Therefore, transparent ice is generated in the space IAj of the ice making block (to), and the space of the impurity block Oυ! 44, cloudy ice is generated.

It is blown out from the freezer compartment air outlet (8) made in the fan grill 17) on the back of the refrigerator, and cools the freezer compartment (1). Also, some of the cold air is transferred to the fan grill (7) and air guide (to).
The air is blown out from the ice-making compartment air outlet (to) to the ice-making compartment via the duct (b) between the ice-making compartments, and cools the rapid ice-making tray (to) located at the top of the ice-making compartment, and the returned cold air is passes through the cold air passage between the partition plate or the bottom surface of the water storage container Ql and the top surface of the ice making container (to), and from the ice making compartment suction port (to).

By configuring the air passage of the ice compartment (2), ice making time is shortened because low temperature cold air is directly cooled to the rapid ice making tray @ at a high wind speed. - On the other hand, the ice making container (to) has relatively heated return cold air passing through the top, and the bottom and left and right sides are insulated walls (58) (59) (do).
Since the inside of the recess (b) is covered on both sides and the bottom, the ice cube will freeze gradually and slowly starting from the top of the ice making container (top). Furthermore, by intermittently heating the bottom surface for a certain period of time using the heating heater (61), it is possible to ensure that the bottom surface is gradually frozen from the top surface.

。The ice making container (to) exposed to the cold air is reliably frozen from the upper surface of the upper ice making block, and the impurity block is frozen after the heater (61) is stopped. In other words, when the ice-making block freezes, impurities such as residual chlorine or hardness, which are the cause of the chlorine odor in tap water in ordinary homes, migrate to the space inside the impure block where unfrozen water accumulates and become concentrated. ) The space in the impurity block heated by KJI is the last to freeze.In this way, impurities are deposited in the space in the impurity block that freezes after KJI, and are trapped in the ice, creating a cloudy part, and the part that freezes first is , resulting in delicious ice that is almost as clear as pure water ice that contains almost no of these impurities.

。In the above example, the ice-making tray and ice-making container were arranged vertically in the ice-making compartment of a five-door refrigerator-freezer, but as long as there is a heating source near the bottom of the ice-making container, transparent ice can be made with any air passage structure. It is possible to separate the cloudy water, and the heat insulation Qi (5B) (59) to prevent cold air from hitting the sides of the Kg ice container as in the above embodiment is not necessarily required.
